Lace up your running shoes for the St. Patrick School 5K/1 Mile Family Fun Run, an engaging community event set to take place on Saturday, October 3, 2026, in Onalaska, WI. This family-oriented race offers both a competitive 5K and a more relaxed 1-mile option, welcoming runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The course is largely flat, providing an excellent opportunity for personal bests or a comfortable stroll, with just a slight incline as you approach the finish line. Both distances begin and conclude at St. Patrick School, creating a central hub for all the race day excitement.

Participants can look forward to a timed event, with trophies awarded to the first-place male and female finishers in each race, and medals for the top three in every age category. Beyond the friendly competition, this race holds a special purpose: all proceeds directly support the building fund for St. Patrick Grade School, making every step you take a contribution to a worthy cause. Typical race day conditions in early October offer pleasant weather, with highs around 68°F and lows around 47°F, accompanied by a low 13% chance of precipitation, ensuring comfortable running conditions. Refreshments will be available at the finish line to help you refuel and celebrate your accomplishment.
